You enter an enormous market lined with booths and tents and stores of all kinds, shapes, and sizes.  Many of the shops are empty and waiting for an occupant.  This is the Time Waster Flea Market.

The currency of the market is the wot.  Each player starts with a number of wots equal to his or her post count and will receive one additional wot for every post made.

There are very few restrictions on what can be bought and sold here as long as the only currency is the wot.  Just make sure you abide by the RPOL terms of use.  Also, you can't copy someone else's item without their permission.

Every time you buy something, update your description with a full list of everything you've purchased and the total costs. As of right now, nobody wants the responsibility of keeping track of everybody's purchases (and I don't blame them), so it falls on you all to do it useless. We should be able to go on good faith, but if someone starts going nuts then an audit might need to be done... ;)

I will add further details to these rules as needed.

This post is a placeholder for the items for sale currently. 90% of the old sale items were from inactive players, so I would like to repopulate the list with new stuff from new people. If anyone wants nd to add anything, either post here or in a PM.

Can i add anything to the market?

Yes, and yes. Wots come from any posts. They used to be taxed, but I think that's dumb.

Could I buy a torch for 1 wot?

Technically, nobody is selling them currently, so no, not unless someone starts selling them.

I will sell torches for 1 wot! pls make it happen magic admin friend!

There ya go buddy.

thank you my love

If anyone wants to sell stuff, just let me know.

I'm afraid i will have to post in this beautiful thread, without a purpose other than stealing your crown :P

Also why is the armor and weapons so expensive? is this elitist militarization! I will not stand for it! Jk idc

I need a torch, but I am cheap. Does anyone change for a wot?

You realize you just earned a wot for posting that, right?

Can I buy stuff from myself? Or is that wrong in like fifty ways?

Froggychum did not budge from his price. Cursing and demanding to speak with his or her manager, I hand over my wot. I do need that torch.

By my count, I now have 313 wots. Froggychum has 135. Is that correct?

Just keep a record in your description of all the things you've purchased and their price. That way, it'll be easier to keep up with since it'll all be in one place.

I think I have decided to cave-in and buy a one-handed wooden sword. cha-ching!

Are there no background checks for those things?!

I don't trust that look in Froggy's eyes. I will begin selling wooden shields.

I'll put some Gobnip on the market, 2 wots per teaspoon, a teaspoon is enough to give your goblin a frenzy that'll last for hours!

I forgot my price stickers. I will sell small wooden shields for 5 wots each and large wooden shields for 10 wots each. Some random shields are made of genuine balsa wood.

This would be a lot easier if you all collected a list of things you might want to sell and then post them all at the same time.

i can put that in my desc as a "wanting to sell" category. see if that helps you any :D :3

Of course Mr. Moneybags Grant is running the market. I wish I had 7,000 wots...

Be glad it's me and not FL... ;)

rekt

Anyone selling a pocket army? I lost mine to Kagura’s time vortex :(

I hereby purchase one torch for 1 wot.  Long live the revolution!

Still awaiting an update...

get on it grant

FourLegged, oblivious to the thought bubble over his head:

"Hmmm... if I play my cards right in this revamped flea market, I could someday be worth tens of thousands of WOTs!"

There, a Merry Christmas update.

Ya dirty mammals.

What should I save up for?  As of now, I have 1 torch and one WOT.
This message had punctuation tweaked by the player at 05:53, Mon 11 Mar 2019.

If you use your torch correctly and were willing to lose the WOT, you could briefly have two torches, (until the WOT burned out)

I am willing to give FREE WOTS to anyone who posts in favor of reviving this thread?

Can I set up a little stall in this market? I would like to sell some Fool's items.

[Wot count: 1
Items acquired: none]

Please do! I have been wandering this barren bazaar alone for too long!

Here, as a bribe humble donation, take these:

TRANSFER 25 WOTS to The Fool on the Hill

Wow!
Here are my humble items... all painstakingly hand made;


[Wot count: 27
Items acquired: none]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and animals of all ages! I hereby bring forth a new item for sale in this market. But first, let me tell you about Mrs. Jennifer Waltham, a homemaker from East Allis, and her husband Ben.

Ben and Jennifer were traveling in their Hyundai to the local Wall Mart to purchase a new wall for their townhouse when an animal crossed in front of them. Ben was unable to avoid the animal and hit it. He stopped and went back to see what it was. To his surprise, he found a squashed rabbit, a wicker basket, and colored eggs.

Jennifer asked, "What was that?"

Ben says, "I think I killed the Easter Bunny!"

"Hold on!" Jennifer grabbed a spray can out of her purse and emptied it onto the rabbit. It hopped up, gathered the eggs into the basket, and waved at them. It then grabbed the basket, took a few hops, turned back and waved again. This repeated until the rabbit was out of sight.

And what was this miracle product? The very thing you can have right here, right now:

|Hare Spray|25 WOTs|Restores lifeless hare and adds permanent wave|

"O MERCY O MERCY!! Gather around gather around! This humble and honest salesman has only one request of ye poor masses!

Be wary of the filthy lies of this Hare Spray salesman! He sells you lies in a bottle!

The devil is the manufacturer of his wicked products! That fuzzball won't tell you the REAL reason they call it Hare Spray!

That's right! That demonic tonic is no herbal remedy, like this charlatan would have you believe!

Certainly not! It is made by the clubbing of rabbits! And not just any rabbits! That's right! This devilish fraud only clubs the rabbits that are loved by your very own children!

But fear not! Together, we can place a stitch into his heinous tongue!

All you have to do is buy my Premium Snake Oil! Only 24 WOTS! Far less than that miserly conman would shaft you for!

I tell no lies, or my name isn't Billy-Bob "Honest-as-God" Johns!"

says Saul Smith, a man whose surname is not and has never been Johns, after becoming envious of the success of his neighbor.

Dude, if this product were made from clubbing rabbits, I would have nothing to do with it. I would not subject my relatives to such abuse.

That's what all abusers say...

Put him away boys!

You'll be in the slammer for a loooooong time

I'll go anywhere if I can take my hare spray with me. If I die, I want to have a can sprayed on me as soon as my body is noticed.

Fair enough. I also want to have my body immediately desecrated after death!

Please people, mind that the Hare Spray and the Premium Snake Oil will be soon in very short supply!
Why I know that?
Well, because I know that, right before packaging, they unequivocally need to be stirred with Three-Handed Wooden Spoons, that are in turn in short supply, and the Three-Handed Wooden Spoons are sold in exclusive by your humble servant!


_{Well... then you need to have three hands to operate correctly the Three-Handed Wooden Spoon, but that's just a detail, right?...}

You guys wanna form a Legitimate Businessmen Pact? We buy each other's products, and then commit money laundering perform totally innocent transactions

We can do enough legitimate business by just talking about legitimate business!

I dunno... sounds kinda fishy to me...

I don't have any fish for sale, nor would I want any (allergies).

Let's cast some light on this! I'll buy one torch from Froggychum for that purpose!

[Wot count: 28
Items acquired:
one Torch]

I hate clarity! I must muddle up and stir this situation!

I will buy a three handed spoon. Because after all, hot girls often tell me I have a third leg

Froggy --> 9 Wots --> Fool

Edit: Struck out the obvious, pathetic lies

I am more than happy to split the difference: 1 WOT to FroggyChum for a torch and 9 WOTS to the Fool on the Hill for a 3-handed spoon. Now I gotta wonder what to do with these three extra hands...*

*Upon further inspection, he sees that the spoon doesn't have three hands, it's just so big and heavy it takes three hands to operate. *sigh* So anyone want to stir up trouble with me? *wink*

I am sorry I insulted your Hare Spray. Let's go raise a graveyard of rabbits.

That'll definitely be a lotta trouble!

Froggy --> 25 Wots --> Rabbit

Edit: Also, What I'm Selling

The Fool, delighted, counts the Wots on the Hill and then approaches the stall selling Purebread Fleas, interested.

[Wot count: 47
Items acquired:
one Torch]

A half-familiar guy sits at the stall, dressed as an entomologist.

He looks a lot like a certain anthropomorphized frog you know...

"Hoh hoh... Kid, you looking to buy some FLEAS???" he asks in an oily manner

The Fool stares at the fleas closely: "Hmmm... do you think that this purchase would be suitable for a Fool? As a status symbol, I mean."

[Wot count: 48
Items acquired:
one Torch]

"Indeed!" the oily man says as he strokes his certainly real (?) mustache.

The slimeball continues, "I can think of nothing better for a Fool than proudly showcasing his prized collection of fleas!"

To finish his argument, he does a small bow of showmanship, "Ever since the days of the first Jester's Cap, such a perfect fit has not been seen!"

The Fool is ecstatic and promptly buys 120 lbs of Purebred Fleas!

[transfer 25 Wot to Froggychum

Wot count: 24
Items acquired:
one Torch
120 lbs of Purebred Fleas]

The oily man bows his head many times in faux gratitude, before quickly glancing around, packing up his cart and rolling out of town like a tumbleweed.

A few minutes later some guards are questioning locals about a wanted scammer selling gullible people large masses of bugs in the area. The people are generally uncooperative, and the public attitude seems to be positive since the fleas are purebred and not mutt fleas.

btw fool i think your WOTs are based on total posts, not just posts in this thread. you should have more, no?

[OOC: oh, I didn't realise that! Can anybody clarify this point, without trying to fool me?]

Msg #4 by Grant, ITT

If anyone is interested in being the 'accountant' of this thread, you're more than welcome. Basically you would just keep a tally of who's spent what and to whom, not really that taxing but something I don't have the time for. If anyone wants items added to the original for sale post, or if someone is interested in the job, let me know in a PM.

Yo everyone.

This thing's up to date now with everything that is currently being sold.

Check the 2nd post ITT, and SPEND SOME MONEY!!!

Nice collation of the Market!

I will express my cash in terms of how many wots I am above or below my post count: +15 at the moment. I have purchased a torch and a 3-handed spoon.

Since there needs to be more fun, I am expanding my stand to sell Fun. I have various forms of Fun available, and am open to offering new types based on demand.

Added :)

Also, I'll buy a Cherry Cold Fun (Cold Cherry Fun?) 'cus it's super dry in my basement, and it's winter in Canada so fruit doesn't exist...

I would kill God for a slushie or some cold lemonade right about now...

It's fine though, virtual representation of food is basically the same thing, right?

Froggychum --> 1 wot --> RabbitBall
